10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1923 SONG CARNIVAL COMES APRIL 14 Iise Forster, Lyric "Orphant Annie", at Winnetka School Next Month TO SING IN COSTUME Cyrena Van Gordon on the Evening Program The children's carnival of song to be given at the Skokie school audi- torium, Winnetka, Saturday morning, April 14, by Ilse Forster, promises to be a unique event. It is made pos- sible only by the public spirit of the north shore community which has provided such an excellent hall, and by the enthusiasm of the school au- thorities in the cause of better music. Miss Forster sings of gingerbread men, Japanese dolls, big brown bears, little boys who chew string, sad old cows, and other subjects dear to the child heart. Those who have heard her speak of her as a lyric "Orphant Annie" or of some delightful Mother Goose character who has stepped out of the pages of a book. Sings In Costume Miss Forster has set out to ac- complish vocally what the Chicago Symphony orchestra is doing instru- mentally in its series of children's concerts All her songs are sung in costume. For the Chinese group she wears a ceremonial robe and a pearl head dress worn by a princess of old China. The robe is embroidered with gold on peachblow satin on which the prin- cess' monogram is woven. She appears again as Daffy Down Dilly, all green and yellow, like a spring flower; again as Dolly Ran- dolph, a Colonial maid; and finally as Raggedy Ann, smile and all In the evening Miss Forster will sing several of her groups in costume for the benefit of the grown-ups, in- troducing "Bunny Rabbits," composed and dedicated to her by Philip War- ner, Paviowska's accompanist. Gives Evening Concert CyrenaVan Gordon, prima donna of 'the Chicago Opera company, will be heard in French and English songs, assisted by Harold Ayers, the young American violinist, and Alma Putnam, accompanist. Of Miss Van Gordon it is said that she has a voice like Nordica's, and she has been acclaim- 'ed the most beautiful Brunhilde on 'he operatic stage. : Prizes for $15 and $10 have been of- fered for the two best posters de- "RAZOR BLADES Sharpened Mail us your old dull safety razor blades.

"It is time to call a halt and an about-face on all these free-taxing, easy-spending gentlemen who are so tirelessly increasing old and searching out new sources of taxation," says the Saturday Evening Post, in an editorial. "A progressive program of confisca- tion is operating in America under the guise of taxation. Increasing burdens are being added year by year to real estate, to productive capital and wages. Slacker wealth alone%s escap- ing, hiding in the tax-exempts provid- ed by these same legislators. Much of this money is wisely spent, much of it is wasted in worse than unneces- sary extension of government pow- ers and in foolish paternalistic schemes, and some of it goes up in smoke between jealous and rival de- partments." Grads of '73 Will Have Reunion at N. W. in June Northwestern university graduates of a half century ago will hold their golden reunion on the campus, Alum- ni day, June 16. George S. Dalgety, secretary of the alumni association, announces that the work of locating the surviving members of the senior class of 1873 has been undertaken by Edwin Camp Arnold, 1143 West Sev- enty-second street, Chicago. Among these whom Mr. Arnold hopes to meet at the reunion are: Fes- tus W. Cleveland, Evanston; D. A. Lindsay, St. Paul; William J. Minium, Pasadena, California; Edward L. Parks, Washington, D.

You've seen children run just because they were too vigorous and happy to move slow- ly. Cantilevers brought back to me that joy in walking." Ordinary shoes, with a rigid strip of steel hidden in the shank, bind the muscles and restrict the movement of the foot so that much of the nat- ural grace and freedom of walking is gone. But the Cantilever Shoe has a flexible shank. It bends WITH the foot. It encourages the free, grace- ful movement of the foot. It strengthens the arch. Tt follows the outline of the foot, and so gives plenty of room for the toes. The natural inner sole line permits foot to lie in a healthy position, with the toes pointing comfortably straight ahead. This feature, and the set of the smart, medium heel, encourage correct posture. For 'the joy of comfortable walking try a pair of Cantilevers this week.
